"We must be equally condemning of those who give shelter to terrorists and use them as political instruments," the Prime Minister said, in an apparent reference to Pakistan where anti-India terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish -e-Mohammad are based and carry out strikes in India with the support of Pakistani establishment.

"Terrorism knows no boundaries, no religion, no race and no values," Modi asserted.

Turning to maritime security, he said there is a need to stand guard against sea-borne threats.

He also pressed the need for ensuring that piracy does not affect the movements in the maritime area and that freedom of navigation is ensured for all.

Pitching for closer security cooperation with Kenya and other African countries connected with India by the Indian Ocean, he said the eastern coast of Africa is facing challenges.

"Coastal security is a matter of deeper engagement," he said, while asking Africa to ensure that its safety is not compromised.

Talking about cooperation with Kenya, he said India is ready to share its experiences and expertise in diversified areas like telecom, agriculture, energy and IT.

"As you march towards your destiny, you will find in India a trusted and reliable partner," he told the Kenyans. (MORE) PTI AKJ AKK AKK
